Frida Kahlo and Gene Kelly

My eyeballs were about to roll out of my head the other night.....
PBS aired 2 documentaries one after the other......
Gene Kelly as dancer, director, Dad - watched all the same old clips from singing in the rain, etc but also learned a few things eg- he was the first film maker to put animated characters in his films- see: Gene dancing with Jerry of 'Tom and Jerry' fame!
had planned to watch and then forgot about the doc on Frida Kahlo-but it came on right after GK- so I was hooked.
incredible life. What made it most intriguing is having serendipitously visited the Kahlo house, the Blue house, near Mexico City a few years ago.
I didn't know that Frida and Diego lived in the US for 4 years together-( SF detroit and NYC) I didn't know that Frida lost her 2nd child at the Henry Ford Hospital- while Diego painted the famous murals.........
Frida died at age 47 - complications from her impaling accident at age 16. She died in the house she was born in- which according to Mexican lore is the 'best life' ...the Blue House.
Diego was pretty much a brilliant & talented asshole.
